Fragments From The Decade

[Verse 1]
A
Fragments from the decade
    E
are splayed out on your floor
     F#m                Dmaj7
Like hundreds of locked doors
          Dmaj7             C#m       A
There's a story that you're trying to find
        Dmaj7              C#m            A
But the pieces don't fit together in your mind
 
[Verse 2]
     A
Your mother was a drunkard
     E
Your father was not a saint
     F#m             Dmaj7
Your sister lacked restraint
       Dmaj7                  C#m                 A
And in photos you were always staring through the lens
        Dmaj7                   C#m         A
To some distant place you would rather have been
 
[Chorus]
Dmaj7    C#m        F#m
Days are lonely and long
Dmaj7      C#m             Bm      F#m
Walking in place where you don't belong
Dmaj7   C#m          F#m
Here on paved Native lands
Dmaj7     C#m            Bm            F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
 
[Instrumental Break]
A   E   F#m   Dmaj7
Dmaj7   C#m   A
Dmaj7   C#m   A
 
[Verse 3]
A
Fragments from the decade
    E
are dancing in the fire
     F#m            Dmaj7
Like marionettes on wires
           Dmaj7               C#m          A
And if you stare too long they almost seem alive
    Dmaj7         C#m            A
Too beautiful and helpless to survive
 
[Chorus]
Dmaj7    C#m        F#m
Days are lonely and long
Dmaj7      C#m             Bm      F#m
Walking in place where you don't belong
Dmaj7   C#m          F#m
Here on paved Native lands
Dmaj7     C#m            Bm            F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
Dmaj7     C#m            Bm            F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
